What the heck is going on? I seen the screen and what's the big deal about it? It's fine! The detail in the ipad mini screen equates to the display on a regular computer monitor. Oh my god!

Seriously? Is this what apple customers have come to? Are you seriously that picky, where if you see a pixel, you go on like a screaming red-in-the-face crybaby about it? My god.

Ok so its not retina, but its regular!

The way some of you guys clamor on about it....

...you seriously need to take a look at your lives. Seriously, I feel bad for you guys. You are the guys that are bringing the Apple name down. Just a whiny, spoiled, generation of adult babies. My..God...

I got a white iPad mini, didn't like the display and returned it. Got a Nexus 7. Good display, but too small and Android. Got another mini, black this time, and found the display OK and sold my iPad 3. Anyway, I like the black one better and it also has AT&T. In the end, after experimenting a lot, I decided the weight and size of the Mini make it more usable than the big, heavy, clunky iPad. The screen isn't as good, but it's adequate. Not even sure if I will get an iPad mini retina when (and if) it appears if it's heavier. The size of the Mini is amazing -- it's even lighter than the Nexus 7. As for the speed of the Mini, I think since it has 1/4 the number of pixels of the iPad 3/4, it doesn't need as powerful a processor.

Wow, yeah the larger iPad is such a clunky piece of garbage now.....please. They are both amazing form factors and the fact that the new iPad is housing insanely powerful chips inside something that thin and yes, LIGHT, its amazing too. All of the sudden everyones hands can't handle 1.4 pounds?

The iPad mini is also amazing in its own right but could never be as powerful as the iPad 4 or have a retina display without making it thicker and yes, heavier.

Just getting sick of the whining about how (not) heavy the full size iPad is. There are always tradeoffs.

Its the difference between a textbook and a paperback novel. And on some ways--the ipad does seem clunky next to mini. Soon the ipad will shed some bezel fat and get near to a pound, and order will be restored to the universe

Also, the idea that people return so many products is strange to me. I try to make my buying decisions final because I hate waste--wasting Apples time and money "restocking", wasting my time and money mailing, etc.

LG's pricing is their own will. I live in a country where the Play Store doesn't manage the sale of hardware, and the Nexus 4 will cost almost twice the Google price, yet the 7 is sold at exactly the same price as the Play Store in any common computer shop.

It's the reason because of which I'm importing the 4 from the UK and I wish LG dies a slow and gruesome death.

The price is skewy in the UK, too. If you can get the base 8GB model from the Play Store then you pay £239. Get it without a contract from the one carrier that has stock, O2, then the price goes up to £399.

does it really bother you so much that people have a different opinion than you do? Talk about needing to take a look at your life.. I find it ironic that you think it isnt ok for other to express their opinion but you just did the exct same thing....LOL

Some people like it...some people don't. It seems like both sides are dismissive of people who have a differing opinion. But such is life these days.

Though I do agree by this point everybody knows what the deal is with the screen and just needs to vote with their wallet if they want it or not.

Haha it seems like you're a describing a fictional place where everyone can have an opinion and it's okay for people to like different items. Let me know if this place exists, I'd love to check it out.

Don't blame the people.. Apple taught us to except retina as the best. That's Apples doing not ours. I bought a mini. Didn't like the screen BUT that's NOT why I returned it. The keyboard was just to small for my personal needs/use. Still using my 3.

To each their own... But don't blame us.. Apple taught us to expect the best.

The fact that you feel your special opinion on this ridiculously overwrought topic warrants its very own special thread outs you in the exact same league as the people your are complaining about complaining. Yawn.

I have to confess that when I saw it at first I was pretty disappointed but once you get over the initial reaction it isn't that bad. I'm using a 3G Nexus 7 just now and the screen is definitely better. But the Mini has other strengths. So I have one on order.

Youíre no better than all the other whiners on here. And while we are on topic, itís not (just) the lack of retina or low pixel density that make the iPad Miniís display undesirable to some, itís the lack of color vibrancy, contrast and overall brightness - yet most threads just focus on 'retina'. For those with an eye for these things, it looks a bit dingy and blah. Thatís all. Some people love it, some hate it, both opinions should be allowed without all the childish backlash.

I don't think there is anyone who loves the ipad mini screen. There are only people to tolerate because it is outweighed by the other aspects of the mini.

I don't get it either. After reading all the complaints about the screen I almost felt bad for choosing the iPad mini, but I saw one in real life again today and I really can't tell the difference between that and the retina display. People should play with it and judge for themselves in case they're worried about the screen not being retina. Don't let all the bleeding eye posts keep you from trying it out.
